Confirmed with Link: The Jakob Chychrun Thread (update: 3/25/25 | signs 8-year, $72M extension)

[g00n]

Taking over for 74 eventually and playing as a Cap through 35yrs old. 9M will be a steal if he keeps playing like this, and doesn't die from salmonella or something.

 

[MW6]

In three years his 9M caphit will be the equivalent of being signed to 6,95M caphit this year.

 

[NoVaCapsFan]

Good calls on this board to 8x$9m. With the cap going up and the player potential, I like it!

 

[Acallabeth]

About what was expected, great to have the deal signed before the playoffs.

 

[trick9]

Zero trade protection?

That's nice.

 

[Kalopsia]

Time to add "no light bulbs" to the Capital One renovation plans. I, for one, can't wait to watch hockey lit by bonfires and braziers, gives me a real occult vibe.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

I feel like you contradicted your first sentence with your second. If 8x8 would get it done, it'd most likely be done by now. Getting what Carlson got many years ago with the cap much higher now would have been a cupcake deal for the team, even before they announced the upcoming cap jumps. But the market is adjusting up big now with that cap news, so it'd make sense if Chychrun's agent wants more.

Don't get me wrong -- I hope you're right. That deal would be great for the club.

Turns out I was only off by $1M a year, which I’m OK with! The Caps were probably at $8M as their starting offer and settled at $9M.

Is this confirmed?

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

I dont mind it. I thought he was around 8.5 around Holiday break. Whats another 500k at this point.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Signing 8 years a day after being close to a serious injury. Maybe he was done gambling on himself.

 

[ovikovy817]

No "hometown" discount but it's ok.
Does 8.5 makes a big difference instead of 9?

 

[DWGie26]

I think it is a hometown discount. He would get 9.5M or 10M in free agency. I’m sure this was the holdup along with trade protection. This is a great deal for both sides. Chychrun gets a long term deal in a place he has thrived and likes. Caps get a great player at reasonable price next two years and a great price years 3-8. LFG!

He's not in his hometown so there's obviously no such thing in this case.

 

[Random schmoe]

I'm happy with this, given the cap increases expected.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

We all get to feel smart today because pretty much all of us predicted $9 mil. Thanks, Jake!

 

[Calicaps]

I'd hoped it would be a little less, but I'm delighted it's done. And especially since it appears there's not much trade protection.

Hopefully he doesn't start drinking raw milk.

 

[MW6]

He’ll be overpaid by 320k next year and then underpaid for the following 7 years. IF(!) we consider him an 8M dollar defenseman..

A good to great deal IMO even though the AAV feels high right now as.
It’s better to sign players long term that feels a smudge expensive this offseason and reap the rewards as the cap continues to rise than signing players at their current value every offseason.

Caps management is doing everything right at the moment! But I guess we have to convince Marner to sign the ”Rantanen-contract” now..

 

[Calicaps]

Source?

Nothing specific, but the contract info has been out for over an hour and is posted in a story on NHL.com

 

[Calicaps]

Hopefully he doesn't start drinking raw milk.

Almost certain that he already does.

 

[Liam Smith]

Happy about this deal and that he’s locked up, but you have to wonder what the pathway for Hutson looks like. The easiest solution would be to ditch Sandin in a couple years but who knows.

Sandin and Fever will both hold solid trade value the next few years if Hutson plays his way onto the roster. It’s a good problem to have

 

[hb13xchamps]

He seems like he really has found his groove here. This seems like a pretty solid deal overall. A *slight* overpayment that turns into a solid contract pretty quickly with the expected salary cap rise.
